Big league ball in Buffalo, New York?
Naturally.
Not long after the nomadic Toronto Blue Jays announced the Triple-A city as their temporary home Friday, Michael Billoni began to wonder who could be the club's Roy Hobbs.
"Hopefully, it's (Vladimir) Guerrero Jr. who will knock the ball on to Oak Street and win the World Series for the Jays in Buffalo," said Billoni, the former general manager of the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons.
It took the Blue Jays nearly a week — and several coronavirus health-related rejections — to finally settle on their minor league affiliate's park as a temporary home for this season on Friday.
